Flag of Dobrovnik as shown on the municipal website - Image by Željko Heimer, 10 September 2005
The municipal website shows a drawing of the flag differing from the detailed description. The proportions of the flag are 1:3, the stripes are unequal and the coat of arms is centered. This design is probably taken from a proposal that was later amended to the current flag.

Coat of arms of Dobrovnik - Image by Željko Heimer, 25 June 2005
The coat of arms of Dobrovnik is "Tierced per pale azure, argent and vert, overall a triple mount fesswise above a filet and a fritillary flower inverted all or".
The triple low hills are the characteristic
horizon of the region, appearing already in historical seals from the XIIIth
century. The golden line stands for the fruitful fields. The
fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris L.; in Slovenian, močvirska logavica or močvirski tulipan; in Hungarian kokcsliliom) is a protected species found in the municipality.
